Ruth's Women's Shelter

MISSION STATEMENT
Ruth's Women's Shelter is a feminist organisation that provides high security crisis accomodation ensuring optimum safety, counselling and support to women and children escaping domestic violence and family violence.
We have a commitment to build a strong team that endeavours to empower women and children and is sensitive to cultural distinctiveness.
Ruth's Women's Shelter Cairns seeks to challenge the values and structures of our society, which support and perpetuate domestic violence and family violence either by their collusion or silence.
